Register for YMCA Spectrum Family Camp!

Greetings from YMCA Camp Greenville!! There are a lot of exciting things happening up on the mountain. Marguerite Elmore has joined our staff full time as our new Group Services Director. We have begun our Fall season, which means it is time to sign up for Spectrum October weekend. The staff is putting a lot of effort into this weekend. The fall program staff did a wonderful job with our Stargazers weekend and are looking forward to the Spectrum Weekend.

So what is Spectrum Camp? It’s a weekend where families affected by autism come together to participate in traditional camp activities in an environment where everyone understands that “autism happens”. You do not have to be a member of any YMCA or a resident of Greenville County to participate. There are no age limits, bottom or top. We'll take care of the details like sensory friendly activities, picture charts for easier transitions, and menus designed to accommodate diets (GF/CF? Covered!) upon advanced request.

Cost is $310.00 for a cabin, up to 4 family
members. Additional people are $80.00. Your family will have their
own cabin with bunk beds and private bathrooms. All cabins are heated in
the event of cool weather. To see our cabins click here.
